Toshiba PSA40E-0EWDE-G3 Password

[s_henya]

Hey got this laptop today,

locked with bios password,

Serial NO. 14781442G

At first boot it asks for a bios password

no hash code available after 3 tries it just reboots,

Any master bios passwords availabe for this model?

i guess no one knows this laptop,
for my understanding, is the password written in the bios chip?
so maybe i will search for a replaceable bios chip?

have you looked in memory compartment, for the b500 or xxx jumper that many Toshibas have

hey trebo,

no i didn't check, (dont know this method)

besides this old thing doesn't have a memory compartment,
i will have to take the keyboard out, to find the memory slot.

im not rulling it out because i need to replace the hinges also both are broken.
so if i won't make it with the plug, i will search the jumper you said.

just go on you tube and type in (Toshiba bios password removal), watch half a dozen videos or so, you will soon get the idea
if your lappy is old then that second link you posted may work
the first link you posted, I have not seen before, a new one on me
good luck
